Audio Muffled - since update began

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Some audio becomes muffled. Killer radius; footsteps, chase music, everything except the generator audio - which is why I knew it was a bug.

PLATFORM: PC & PS5

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Just random when I am on certain maps - from memory one with a Skull Merchant on Grim Pantry. It is giving killers advantage as they sound further away than they are and you cant hear the game audio correctly.

This is happening to my friends too so common enough bug.

    I had this 2 games in a row when I was running No Mither. I thought it was a perk bug

    I've had this happen to me as both killer and survivor. One time as killer I got smoked bombed and was deafened for the remainder of the match, but the last game I played as survivor I spawned in deafened and stayed that way the entire match.

    Had this sometimes whit the smoke bombs - they muffle the sound - thats ok.

    But sometimes the muffled sound just stays after the smoke is gone. On PS4 and PC / Steam.

    it is 100% due to the smoke bombs. At least while playing killer if the match ends while you are in a smoke bomb, the game will be muffled and you get no fast vault notifications ( the chase music will keep playing at full volume though >.>) .

    I assume the same happens to survivors if the killer dc's while a survivor is in a smoke bomb as well.

    I'm still getting this too on PS5. Just went against a huntress on Vecnas map and it's so hard to focus on what's going on
